Thiago Motta admits some disappointment after 0-0 draw at home to Club Brugge

Juventus’ 0-0 draw at home to Club Brugge smacks of a wasted opportunity: the Bianconeri, by winning, would have placed themselves among the top eight in the standings, putting pressure on the other contenders for direct qualification to the round of 16 committed on Wednesday. Instead, the night of Thiago Motta’s men goes into the archives with the certainty of making the playoffs, but with a good chance of playing an extra round.

Thiago Motta, to the microphones of 'Sky', did not hide his disappointment: "Everyone who played on this field suffered,” he said, “we hardly risked anything but on the other side we did not create enough to win. We could have done better in this respect".

"After a long time, we had a lot of players available in attack today: we started with Weah, Nico Gonzalez and Mbangula, then Conceiçao, Vlahovic and Yildiz came in. These are players who need to show up more and contribute more" " added Motta, chastising his own forwards in his own way after Tuesday night.

For an attack that disappointed, there'è perè a midfield that responded well, according to the Old Lady coach: "Locatelli played very well, I also liked Douglas Luiz è. In the department we have many high-level players, I think of Koopmeiners, Thuram and Fagioli, each of whom always makes himself ready".
